James Ponti’s newest book is Vanished, the second book in a mystery series starring 12 year old Florian Bates, a special FBI consultant. The School Library Journal says, “Mystery buffs and fans of Anthony Horowitz's Alex Rider series are in for a treat. With elements of Alex Rider, James Bond, and Sherlock Holmes stories, this is likely to be popular with mystery and action/adventure fans.”
